The Disneyland Resort has announced Halloween Time is returning, and everything sounds frightfully delightful! Festivities start September 3 and run through October 31.
Disneyland Park will have the famous Mickey Mouse jack-o-lantern, carved pumpkins and Halloween decorations, galore, and a special “Halloween Screams” show with fireworks on the weekend!
Disney California Adventure Park will feature the a Haul-O-Ween makeover in Cars Land, transforming it from Radiator Springs to Radiator Screams. Guardians of the Galaxy will change to Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark at night, and our favorite characters will be wearing the cutest old-fashioned Halloween costumes. Look for the Headless Horseman statue on Buena Vista Street, and stop by the Plaza de la Familia for “A Musical Celebration of Coco.”
I took my kids in October 2019 during the holiday season, and it was SO FUN!
Don’t miss out on their clever Halloween treats, too!
